How do you make text appear?

Hi, I am making this game called Scenaricis but here's the thing I don't know. How do you make text appear?


Thanks

Good question (and shweet username!) CEOofApple!

The easiest way is probably to make a sprite with the text you want using the image designer within Scratch then show/hide that sprite when you want using blocks. Another way (less customizable) is to show a variable on the screen and set it to the text you want shown.

What if I wanted to do it like it appears in The Galactical Apple V.S Android?

Play the game “Galactical Apple V.S Android.” Text shows up like “something about apple and siri.”

Still not sure what you mean. Do you mean where people can click on the text?

He's talking about this featured project: The Galatical Android vs Apple

@CEOofApple:
If you want to do the same thing as in The Galatical Android vs Apple, you do the same thing above with creating some text in a sprite. This time, though, use these pieces of code to hide/show them smoothly:

whenclickedsetghosteffectto100

repeat20changeghosteffectby-5To show the text.

repeat20changeghosteffectby5To hide the text.

Do you see how I did it?

Asking,

ErnieParke

No, I mean when, like when you are playing the game. While its going, and these pictures show up, text starts to appear explaining the situation.

Have you looked inside this project to see how they do it?

Go into the costume editor and select the text tool (T) then type away.
